Mumbai Coastal Road shut after car catches fire inside southbound tunnel

WHAT'S THE STORY?

A fire broke out in a car inside the southbound tunnel of the Mumbai Coastal Road around 9:30 am on Thursday (September 25). The Coastal Road has been shut.

A dense smoke quickly filled the tunnel, forcing traffic to be diverted to surface roads from the Haji Ali and Worli connector.

"Traffic movement is stopped at Coastal Road (Tardeo) south bound and north bound due to car fire," the Mumbai Traffic Police said on their X handle.



The blaze was brought under control and has since been extinguished.

The fire led to massive traffic jams at all the interchangers of the coastal road.
